PRINCESS Charlene of Monaco has given a rare insight into life as a mother of adorable twin children, where she opened up about their royal family.

The royal mother revealed her adorable son and daughter Princes Jacques and Princess Gabriella wish school was open at the weekends and told how her family prays for the less-fortunate every night in a wide-ranging interview. Princess Charlene said she and her 60-year-old husband Prince Albert II of Monaco feel "blessed" to have two children who fill them with "love and happiness" and are also "well behaved and kind".

Princess Charlene, 40, said: “I’ve certainly trampled on some superheroes but I try to repair others too, find those the dogs have hidden or retrieve this Superman launched over the balcony to see, ‘if he can fly.’

“It’s also necessary to reassemble some toys, which can take a little time and cause some impatient tears.”

The mother-of-two also told how the four-year-olds over indulged over the festive period.

She said: “I’m sure all moms, like me, have already experienced the consequences of the children eating too many sweets, the excess sugar and the excitement that comes with it.”

It comes after Prince Albert and Princess Charlene of Monaco released their official Christmas card – featuring a regal portrait of the principality's royal family.

The family’s official royal portrait showed Prince Albert, Princess Charlene and their children relaxed in front of a family Christmas tree, with the Princess wearing a long festive red dress while husband Albert matches with a red pocket square.

Gabriella, four, looked angelic in a white dress, while Jacques sat on his mother’s lap in a sweater vest.

The family also made room for one of Princess Charlene’s Chihuahuas.

But along with the traditional family image, which shows the family looking relaxed, the Monaco royals included an adorable picture of the young royals cuddling up in front of a magical, snowy Christmas tree on the inlay of the card.
